You changed your tune Jim from the match thread!?

 

I realise now, the whole match was one big tactical masterstroke, a roper dope if you like. The plan was to play shite and to grab a last minute penalty.

Steve was trying to emulate the drama of the World Cup semi final. It was all going so well until Albert fluffed his lines.

Easy to blame the penalty miss but the fact of the matter is with the quality of squad we have we should be putting sides like this away easily.

Fed up of Bruce’s ineptitude, should have pulled the trigger on aBruce when the new owners came in.

They will do soon.. the usual defenders will be out in force tomorrow.  

I'm going nowhere near that Steve Bruce thread, I value my membership here too much. We need to stop putting 50Ps in the dickheads lol!

Bruce's fault for putting out a team that was clueless.

I'm sick of the excuse we don't need the distraction. It's a lame bandaid over a gaping wound.

Haven't they heard of momentum ?

Two shots on target against a League One side who have lost four of their first five matches this season.

Our only substitution being a RB for a CB twenty minutes before full time. From a bench consisting of defensive midfielders and defenders.

Just let that sink in for a bit.

No excuses. Unacceptable.

Conceding a last minute penalty followed by missing one is too much to bear.

Gonna visit the Amazon bank holiday sale for some retail therapy

I’m not fussed about the early rounds of a competition we have no chance of winning, so this result alone won’t bother me too much.

However, it did sound like another awful performance, and further evidence that the positives from the Brentford game was a one off. 

I wouldn’t mind it one bit if the owners decided it was time to try new leadership, because I really can’t see Steve Bruce turning into something he’s never been in his entire managerial career. He is either incapable of or simply not interested in implementing tactics and a style of play more intricate than attacking the channels and hope our talented forward players take care of the rest. It’s not good enough. It won’t be good enough.

This starting team had 7 Bruce signings and Elmo off the bench. Imagine what we could achieve with 100% Bruce signings?

Has Bolasie injured himself yet so he go can go back to Everton

The football ? Definitely. The excuses ? Without a shadow of doubt.

Just covering all the angles.

This team should be embarrassed they could no beat Burton Albion. Bruce should have brought on the big boys for the last 25 minutes give emm a run and to win this game. If we're not interested at least go out by a team with a bit of clout. Disgusting Bruce utter tripe.

I said earlier in another thread, Bruce relies on the quality of the players. He has no idea how to coach an average footballer into quality, great example tonight. They had no idea out there!!

[leighavfc]

Even it being our second team... that is a shocking result with that kind of team out.

You're probably lightyears ahead of me, but I'll still answer: Albert is sort of at fault.

I don't think it would have been any different with our first team out there.

Hull 0 Derby 4. Now what was that I was saying about momentum ? And we've got the manager with all the experience.
